BEANZ
MAGAZINE

Magazine Design | Art Direction | Humor

Beanz magazine was a bi-monthly children's science and computer science magazine with a quirky and humorous attitude. Towards the end of 2023, I was given the role of Art Director for the magazine. One of the largest challenges with Beanz was that there was no budget in terms of photography or illustration, meaning imagery had to be sourced from public domain sites. Instead of viewing this as a setback, this became one of the magazine's strengths. A lack of curated imagery led to photoshopped and meme-like visuals with a charmingly snarky voice for the magazine.
